Prescribing

ADHD and shared care

We can consider ongoing ADHD prescribing and monitoring for suitable adults whose medication is stable.

All patient information

Higham Hill Medical Centre participates in the North East London adult ADHD ongoing-care pathway.

We can provide ongoing prescribing and monitoring for suitable adults with an established ADHD diagnosis whose medication has already been initiated, titrated and stabilised by an appropriate specialist service.

All requests are considered individually. Acceptance depends on receiving sufficient information from the specialist and being satisfied that it is clinically safe and appropriate for the practice to take over ongoing prescribing.

Medication changes or re-titration will usually require specialist ADHD input. If your diagnosis was made entirely privately, additional NHS specialist verification may be required before we can take over prescribing.
